How to make a commit when not the original author? [closed]
I'm attempting to push a repository on a project that I didn't originally write and and it seems as though git is asking me for the original authors password and getting rejected:
The command
git push origin master
results in the following error message:
Password for 'https://kawner@bitbucket.org':
remote: Invalid username or password
fatal: Authentication failed for 'https://kawner@bitbucket.org/kawner/hackfund-2.0.git/'
How do I go about making the project mine so that I can push to a repository under my own account if that makes sense? I've tried abunch of things including deleting everything git related in keychain access and just logining in again in terminal but nothing is working.

"How do I go about making the project mine so that I can push to a repository under my own account if that makes sense?" - It is not possible to take over the repository in question. My suggestion would make your own repository, which you have ownership of, allowing you to make any commits you want. The repository in question is actually private.
